Children of Time

Children of Time tells two stories, one about the beginning of a species and one about the potential end. I loved reading about the development of the sentient spiders' creative and alien culture over many generations, even though spiders creep me out. The human side was more standard, with the remainder of the human race facing a long space journey with an uncertain end. I enjoyed both stories, though the spiders' civilization was definitely the most impressive aspect of the book. Overall, I found the book the be very entertaining, and the ending was surprising and satisfying. I'm curious to see if Tchaikovsky plans to write more science fiction novels!
